17 year old roger federer

[djsebastianblanco]

I did the same shot a couple months ago! Only that it was on hard court! Roger always # 1

[juliejulialove]

@act7957 he issss charimastic :p

[ufesafada]

thats was fantastic and against a great serve and volley player wich is rafter,only roger

[juliejulialove]

@kelman221 not he's nottttt..actually i was gonna cry when i read ur comment, he's smart, he's 2 calm he even looks the same if he wins or loses, he's polite amd always respects the other players and when he loses he smiles to the winner and tells him congraltuations in a very nice way if he was really really angry cuz he lost once or twice in history it doesnt mean that he's arrogance

[monorailred1]

Arrogance! To be world class, you must have an attitude that is strong and resolved and whatever it takes to get there, you will do. This is not arrogance but resolve!

[monorailred1]

Little did they know, wow!

[juliejulialove]

@afc7957 HE'S NOT LIKABLE!!! HE'S NOT LIKABLE!!! Cant u see how many fans does he have??? I looooooove him

[kelman221]

@juliejulialove He is dull and always looks constapated, and is really not a good sport, he just wins alot because he is really good so you do not see him angry often (other than his younger years when he got mad and had fits quite often).

[acf7957]

@juliejulialove he has fans because of the fact that hes one the greatest players to play the game, he's just not very charismatic, thats all im saying.

[kelman221]

Federer aint bad guy, but he ended up not having much of a personality, at least on court.

[acf7957]

@kelman221 I agree, he is great but he is just not likeable

[tennislife100]

@acf7957 Roger the 1st place of a favorite player whom a tennis fan chooses. 9-year-won. He has won these prizes, even when he is not the 1st place. who break these records?

[kelman221]

@tennislife100 Sorry but I have no idea as to what you are trying to say.

[tennislife100]

@kelman221 what you say?

[tennislife100]

@kelman221 Roger is the sportsmanship prize which ATP players choose, 7 times records. He has won these prizes, even when he is not the 1st place. who break these records?

[d0min0danc1ng]

RF = peRFect = Swiss Genius = Tennis Primadona = Roger FREAKING Federer

Got it?

[HarrisonPlaysCoD]

Now he does it through his legs.. haha

[whynot0224]

"...has this sort of arrogance.." The perfect words to describe Roger. Roger's always been an arrogant player. He expects to win, every time. When he loses, he throws petulant tantrums.

[jpjames1]

[ArjunJethwa]

Arrogance lol

[dodododa]

Fed lost 7-5, 3-6, 0-6, 2-6

[woazar]

hmm... he looks strangely familiar...

[iamevildoing]

Arrogance? Haha that's probably something that I don't think many people would call him

[Searcheur]

joaquin phoenix

[oagih90aa]

greatest player of all time

[dinosmashify]

that shirts too big for him

[x78340]

"he has this sort of...arrogance"...how about a LOT of it!

[Ziyedb]

Roger definitely watched Agassi's backwards smashes a lot.

[theananasior]

he is a master. even now



[iDJMIXTRESS]

He is so cool! xD

[MrAuntie]

17 and earning big salary. while im doing here watching youtube.

[4Ventus]

@MrAuntie me too! :D hooray for not being a tennis genius!

[MrAdisease]

lol the shot he played at 0:15 was the same shot he played against tomic in the 2012 aus open

[AussieRaver1996]

@MrAdisease lol i know right, i was watching that

[ucla4eva]

Commentator got it! Nice one that commentar guy!

[THEGR8143VER]

Pat Rafter's Amazing Volley shots couldn't stop him

[kelvinpyaeko]

he was bad-ass since then

[gumihoS2]

commentator got it spot on.

[chipncharge94]

this is why this guy is gonna be good for the game :)

[PranavG98]

the other sounds like rafael nadal!!! :D

[spamkingalpha]

0:12 ... I have lost count of the times I have seen him like that

[anirudh1998able]

He was pretty fast in this video

[Songs2Tennis341]

Federer is not arrogant!

[6112003]

'This is why this guy's gonna be good for the game'. No Shit Sherlock!!! You weren't wrong there.

[MrMontez11]

@6112003 Truer words never said

[DunkinDonutful]

@6112003 Umm actually it was a fantastic prediction you IMP.

[MrJuppys]

@DunkinDonutful ... but thats the point, dont you get sarcasm?



[Thallisongm]

Nesse ano Nadal estava com 12 anos

[hawk2slayer]

What do you call that? GENIUS!!!

[RensFeelGood]

Where's the ball?

[iiYaMa72]

little did they know......... :D

[jazzswingsoulblues]

clearly the step up to wearing a bandanna made him a grand slam champion

[overratednadal]

Nadal said. " to watch a Sampras versus Ivanisevic match. or one between those kind of players, is not enjoyable. It's not really tennis. it is a few swings of the racquet. For me in the past it was just serve. serve" arrogant smug.

clay excluded. successive win 0.  If grass and a hard are fast. Like Sampras era. Nadal is able to win only with clay. power of defense and muscles. boring ugly. All the surface is slow now. SICK.

Fake time-out. cheater. gamesmanship. too noisy annoying.

[cloudcitycircle]

@overratednadal learn english idiot

[toyeca1]

@overratednadal You're absolutely right. Nadal will NEVER win the Australian Open or the US open or Wimbledon because he's only a clay court player. That's why he'll never be placed with the greats or complete a grand slam.

[arnean]

@toyeca1 His point was that they've changed the grass and hardcourt surfaces. If they were like they were in Sampras' days, Nadal would never win a Wimbledon or US Open.

[Matthew9818]

Roger Federer! KUNT!

[MarionGoesHigh]

"...this guy is gonna be good for the game.." Really? No kiddin' xDD

[kelman221]

this must be the most pathetic loser I have ever seen, I bet he sucks now.

[ryuichirapha]

I think he will be a very good player in the future :)

[mjsupafly]

[Radenko90]

Arrogance, you got that right.

[shamunk1]

No one would've expected him 2 be the best player of all time then.

[JumperJ2206]

solche schläge hatte er auch schon in jungen jahren drauf ;-)

[futuramaishot]

lol, his appearance hasn't changed one bit

[kebuchan24]

Even at age 16 he looks like he is easily 25.



[luanlovelyman]

[loveroger98]

[Salires11]

[Zrenjaninac]

Djokovic and Federer FTW!

[182Lalus182]

:)..ROGER IS BEST:)

[LKhealth1112]

He was so cute! Now he is hot!

[cynthiamty]

Arrogante??? jajaja...por Dios!! ni en ese entonces ni ahora es ni será arrogante! es un estúpido el comentarista!! Roger siempre ha sido sencillo, respetuoso y adorable!

[ScratchRec]

Tennis is for pussys

[cj397]

@ScratchRec you play fucking piano. who is the bigger bitch?

[Babolat3216]

@cj397 ...I play Junior Tennis and the piano bro.

[cj397]

@Babolat3216 your a fag

[Babolat3216]

@cj397 COOL STORY BRO. You mad bro? Don't compare me to someone like you. :)

[splendid1000]

@ScratchRec

Then you must be pussy juice cuz I play tennis and I could wipe the floor with you in ANY sport. LOL !!!!!

[TheXcessiv]

HE HAS THIS SORT OF ARROGANCE !!!! Finally we found a good commentary and not just the same genius talking :-) ! THUMPS UP !!!!!!!

[FionaCullen7]

Roger may have been a little arrogant when he was 17 but no way is he arrogant in the slightest now. He is so humble, I have watched very video of Roger that exists and he is no where near arrogant. I am not trying to defend him, I just don't see it, what does he do that makes him seem arrogant today?

[mfs313]

@FionaCullen7 : I dont know, may be printing no. 15 on his winning jersey before the match (against Roddick in Winbledon).... great player anyway.

[FionaCullen7]

@mfs313 I could be wrong but I am pretty sure that Nike made that jacket for Roger and he had nothing to do with the design of it.

[nicogam6]

"this is why this guy is gonna be good for the game" you bet he was lmao the best player in history!

[vivs005]

@nicogam6 I was about to write the same until I saw your comment :P

[nicogam6]

@vivs005 hehe

[elmake007]

@nicogam6 you are so right...that´s why he´s gonna be good..he is, was and will be for ever the best tennis player

[z33twinturbo]

@nicogam6 He still IS the greatest player of all time.

Remember he's not the greatest because he dominated for so long... no he dominated for so long because he's the greatest.

[nicogam6]

@z33twinturbo NUFF SAID.

[addy72222]

@nicogam6 is*

[cannydd]

@nicogam6 little did the commentators know.. that they were commentating the greatest ever..

[aggbala]

@nicogam6 he was? he is!

[JecaMasha]

ARROGANCE? SPOT ON !

[DBLQ]

@JecaMasha You can't make it in this sport if you don't believe in yourself and you're not aware of your abilities. And for someone who's a fan of Sharapova, to call Federer arrogant is surprising, to say the least. A lot of people can't distinguish arrogance from confidence. Very few players are arrogant. Why ? Because the arrogants actually LACK confidence. Roddick's arrogant as hell. What has it given him ? Only one slam and a whole bunch of disappointments. Federer and Nadal are CONFIDENT.

[JecaMasha]

@DBLQ arrogant and confident... but mostly arrogant.

[anismessi]

roger in my age Ha HA

[FedererNation1RF]

love what he says at the end :)
